Definitions
- the invention relates to means for treating pollutants from the exhaust gases of combustion engines.
- the pollutant emissions of combustion engines fitted to motor vehicles are regulated by standards. Regulated pollutants are, depending on the combustion engine technology considered, carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx, ie NO and NO 3 ⁇ 4) and particles (PM), which are formed during combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber and then emitted to the exhaust.
- CO carbon monoxide
- HC unburned hydrocarbons
- NOx nitrogen oxides
- ie NO and NO 3 ⁇ 4 particles
- PM particles
- An oxidation catalyst allows the treatment of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and under certain conditions nitrogen oxides; a particulate filter can be used for the treatment of soot particles.
- This type of device is generally referred to as the "after-treatment” device for the exhaust gases.
- a specific post-treatment system can be introduced into the exhaust line of vehicles, including vehicles equipped with diesel engines.
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- Semiconductor Catalytic Reduction English
- reducing NOx by introducing a reducing agent (or a precursor of such a reducing agent) in the exhaust gas by catalyzed reactions.
- a "reducing agent” will generally be used to designate a reducing agent or a reducing agent precursor.
- the reducing agent generated makes it possible to reduce the nitrogen oxides by reaction in an SCR catalyst, that is to say a substrate carrying a catalytic impregnation capable of promoting the reduction of NOx by the reducing agent.
- the after-treatment devices It is therefore advantageous to implement the after-treatment devices as close to the engine, that is to say closer to the exhaust manifold, under hood, even though this environment is generally very crowded.
- the post-processing devices must therefore be as compact as possible without affecting their performance.
- upstream and downstream are understood as a function of the general direction of flow of the exhaust gases in the exhaust line integrating the post-processing units, since the engine to the end cannula of the exhaust line.
- a post-processing device grouping in the same envelope several bodies that will be successively traversed by the exhaust gas It is proposed, in particular, a series of organs comprising upstream downstream: - an oxidation catalyst, - a urea reducing agent injector, - a mixer whose role is to intimately mix the droplets of urea injected into the envelope traversed by the gases, so as to decompose to ammonia as homogeneously as possible over the entire cross section of the envelope, - an organ SCR, - a particulate filter (called FAP by the after). It also proposes an alternative, consisting of replacing the SCR member and the FAP, with a FAP which is impregnated with a NOx reduction catalyst and which thus fulfills both the soot filter function and the reduction of the NOx (called SCRF later).
- a dedicated member SCR as described in this document may not start early enough for reasons of adverse thermal, especially in urban driving conditions during which the temperatures in the exhaust line are quite low .
- the higher temperatures of the gases at the engine outlet also favor the thermo-desorption of the ammonia stored in the SCR (and / or SCRF) members, and can furthermore contribute to the degradation of their active catalytic phases which can induce a decrease in their storage capacity in ammonia.
- the combination of higher temperatures and a higher amount of urea (or ammonia) to be injected on the line induces an increased risk of ammonia emissions that would not react at the end of the exhaust line. .
- Ammonia leaks at the end of the exhaust line are smelly, and can be inconvenient, especially if the vehicle is in a confined space of closed parking type.
- the invention then aims to design a post-treatment of the engine exhaust gas that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
- One of its aims is to improve existing systems to meet higher standards for pollutant emissions, and more particularly for NOx emissions under unstabilized rolling conditions of the urban rolling type and / or an extended temperature range, while limiting as much as possible leakage of reducing agent NOx unreacted end of the exhaust line.
- it also aims to obtain a postprocessing device that is more efficient and which remains, in addition, compact.
- the invention firstly relates to a device for post-treatment of the exhaust gas of a combustion engine, which comprises, from upstream to downstream:
- an oxidation catalyst member also called DOC
- a NOx trap member also called LNT for "Lean NOx Trap", acronym for poor NOx trap, which is an organ for storage and removal of NOx
- a particulate filter element provided with a catalytic selective catalytic reduction coating SCRF of NOx nitrogen oxides; an organ for treating ammonia leaks.
- This post-processing device architecture has proved extremely favorable in several aspects.
- the pollution control system comprises only the organs listed above (except for any additional devices not directly involved in the depollution, but rather to its measurement, such as sensors for example).
- the device according to the invention will treat the gaseous and particulate pollutants as they pass through the depollution organs: they thus first enter the first "brick" constituted, according to a first embodiment , oxidation catalyst, where CO and HC are oxidized to water (H 2 0) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Out of this first DOC brick products of the oxidation of CO and HC namely H 2 0 and C0 2 , as well as oxides of nitrogen and particles. The residual NOx, and particles enter the SCRF brick, which will reduce the NOx by NH 3 and remove the particles by storing them before burning them during regenerations.
- the presence, in "upstream" of the SCR member, NOx trap further guarantees that a part at least NOx will be treated before entering SCRF.
- NOx traps are sequential NOx treatment systems, with a lean NOx storage (excess oxygen), then a destocking and a NOx reduction in a rich mixture (excess of reducing agents): - in a mixture poor, NOx are stored as nitrates at active sites (usually in the form of single or mixed oxides such as oxide or barium aluminate); - In rich mixture, the NOx are destocked and reduced in N 2 by the reducing agents (CO, HC and H 2 ), it is called purge NOx.
- the active phase of the catalyst generally comprises noble metals, of the Pt, Pd type, ensuring the oxidation of NO to NO 2 and CO / HC, thus playing the same role.
- the operation of the NOx trap therefore requires periodic wealth swings, the trap storing up to NOX saturation, and then being "purged" periodically by a change in richness.
- the length of the SCRF member is at least 100 mm, in particular between 100 and 250 mm, preferably between 120 and 180 mm.
- the total length of the particulate filter is at most 250 mm, preferably between 120 and 180 mm. The invention thus preserves the compactness of the assembly.
- the total length between the inlet of the oxidation catalyst member or of the NOx trap and the outlet of the particulate filter is at most 450 mm, in particular at most 400 mm, from preferably between 280 and 380 mm.
- the DOC oxidation catalyst member or the NOx trap, the mouth, and the particulate filter member provided with a catalytic selective catalytic reduction coating SCRF NOx nitrogen oxides are grouped in a single envelope, and the ammonia leak treatment member is disposed outside said single envelope. It is thus possible to distribute the various organs of the post-processing device, depending on the space available under the hood: thus, the bodies except the one treating the ammonia leak remain grouped under hood engine output, while the ammonia leak treatment unit can be deported further downstream on the exhaust line, and thus be in the underbody area of the vehicle.
- ammonia leak treatment unit is completed (or even replaced) by an ammonia leak treatment coating integrated with the particulate filter, preferably in its downstream portion.
- said organs and mouth are grouped in a single envelope.
- the ammonia leak treatment unit is a catalyst for treating ammonia leakage by oxidation of ammonia to NOx and then reducing said NOx to nitrogen, which can be used in the following. of this text refer to ASC.
- ASC is the acronym for "Ammonia Slip Catalyst” or catalyst for ammonia leaks in French.
- the ammonia leak treatment unit may be a catalyst for cleaning ammonia leakage by ammonia oxidation, which may be referred to below as CUC in the rest of this text.
- CUC in the rest of this text.
- the oxidation catalyst member may also comprise an adsorber material of nitrogen oxides, also called PNA which is the acronym for the expression "Passive NOx Adsorber”.
- PNA Passive NOx Adsorber
- the role of a PNA type material is to be able to store during the cold phases the nitrogen oxides emitted by the engine, as the bodies catalyzing the reduction of NOx (the SCR member and the particulate filter with SCRF catalytic coating) are not yet functional. Indeed, it is necessary to wait 180 to 200 ° C to be able to inject the reducer (urea) in the exhaust line and form the ammonia which will then convert the NOx. With NH 3 "pre-stored" in the SCR coating, the conversion of NOx can take place a few tens of degrees before (at about 140 ° C).
- the NAP works by storing NOx "cold” (thanks, in particular, to the addition, in the "classical” impregnation of an oxidation catalyst, of simple or mixed oxides with a basic character such as, for example , oxides of cerium or barium) before returning them to higher temperature when the SCR is fully operational (between 200 and 300 ° C).
- purge steps are provided to clean its surface which has been sulfated over time in a known manner.
- the post-treatment device comprises a mixing device for mixing the exhaust gas and the reducing agent and / or converting the precursor into a reductant between the mouth of the feed introduction means.
- the post-treatment device may also include a NOx sensor between the particulate filter member provided with a selective catalytic reduction catalyst coating SCRF NOx nitrogen oxides and the leak treatment member.
- a NOx sensor between the particulate filter member provided with a selective catalytic reduction catalyst coating SCRF NOx nitrogen oxides and the leak treatment member.
- ammonia and optionally another NOx sensor upstream of the DOC oxidation catalyst member / LNT NOx trap, and / or another NOx sensor downstream of the ammonia leak treatment member.
- the "upstream" sensor, upstream of the DOC catalyst or the NOx trap can also be replaced by modeling if necessary.
- the oxidation catalyst member has a catalyst whose amount of noble metals is adjusted so as to obtain at the outlet of the organ exhaust gas whose ratio N0 2 / NOx is equal or similar of 0.5 (we understand by "neighbor” a variation of for example +/- 15% around this value).
- the catalyst of the particulate filter is based on zeolite (s) exchanged (s) copper.
- this type of catalyst is particularly suitable for impregnating a particulate filter: - it has a better thermal resistance than a catalyst based on zeolites exchanged with iron (it must indeed undergo damage without any regenerations) periodicals of the filter at very high temperature), - the combustion of soot by N0 2 (effect called "CRT"), at a temperature of about 250 ° C to 350 ° C, tends to reduce the ratio NQ> / NOx, the formulations to base of zeolites exchanged with copper (Cu) being also better adapted because they are less sensitive to low temperature than those exchanged with iron, - it also has a higher storage capacity of NH 3 .
- the copper exchanged zeolites proposed for the SCRF and / or exchanged with iron for the catalyst of the catalytic reduction catalyst member SCR are for example based on zeolites of the chabazite, ferrierite or hydrated aluminosilicate type (ZMS5). ), and may also contain at least one of the following oxides: cerium (Ce) oxide, zirconium (Zr), or at least one of the following metals: niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), titanium ( Ti).
- the support of the oxidation catalyst member and / or that of the NOX trap member is optionally equipped (s) with heating means, for example of electric resistors type. This reduces their rise time and therefore the time from which they start.
- heating means for example of electric resistors type.
- the support of the SCRF particle filter may be, for example, silicon carbide (SiC), cordierite or aluminum titanate.
- the after-treatment device also comprises a mixing member of the exhaust gas and the reducing agent and / or the precursor of the gearbox between the mouth of the gearbox introduction means and / or precursor of a reducing agent for the selective catalytic reduction of SCR nitrogen oxides and the selective catalytic reduction catalytic converter of nitrogen oxides integrated in the SCRF particulate filter.
- This mixer has the function of mixing as well as possible the exhaust with the reducing agent or reducing precursor, this being particularly useful when the precursor is of the liquid type, such as urea in aqueous phase.
- the invention also applies to the direct injection of the reducing gas, such as ammonia, which feeds the exhaust line from one or more salt cartridges (in particular of SrCI 2 type) capable of adsorbing ammonia and releasing it by thermal activation, in a known manner (technology commonly called “solid” SCR), and in this case, the mixer is less necessary.
- the reducing gas such as ammonia
- the mixer is of a type having a path length for gases passing through it at least twice the length it occupies longitudinally in the envelope.
- the purpose of the mixer is to homogenize the mixture between the exhaust gas and the reducing agent, and, if a precursor of a reducing agent is introduced, to promote the decomposition of the reducing agent precursor into a reducing agent.
- the use of a mixer imposing on the exhaust gas a relatively long path compared to the length of the mixer, for example of a type imposing gas a substantially helical path with impactor, is particularly suitable for the invention.
- the mixer may also be, for example, a T-mixer using downstream gas recirculation oxidation catalyst in a double jacket around the oxidation catalyst with an injection on the exit face of the oxidation catalyst.
- the single envelope is substantially in the form of a cylinder provided with an inlet divergence and an outlet convergent (in the form of cone sections), with a total length of at most 450 mm, especially at most 400 mm, preferably between 280 and 380 mm, and therefore has a compactness quite compatible with an implantation in a sub-bonnet of a motor vehicle.
- the means for introducing the reducing agent is a solenoid or piezoelectric or mechanical or hydropneumatic type actuator type injector.
- the duct between the exhaust manifold and the device according to the invention may further comprise one or more turbocharger turbines in the context of a supercharged engine, and, in particular, the device according to the invention may be connected directly to the casing of a turbocharger, at the outlet of a turbine.
- the invention also relates to an exhaust line which comprises the post-processing device described above.
- the invention also relates, in a first embodiment, to a motor vehicle defining a space under the hood, which contains what is usually referred to as the engine compartment, and a space under the box, and comprising a a heat engine connected to the preceding exhaust line, such that the engine and the aftertreatment device of the exhaust line are arranged in the space under the hood. In this way, all the depollution units are grouped compactly close to the engine.
- the invention also relates, in a second embodiment, to a motor vehicle defining a space under the hood and a space under the body, and comprising a heat engine connected to the previous exhaust line, such as the engine.
- the DOC oxidation catalyst member or the LNT NOx trap, the mouthpiece, and the particulate filter member provided with a SCRF catalytic selective reduction catalyst coating of the NOx nitrogen oxides of the post-treatment device the exhaust line are arranged in the space under the hood, and such that the ammonia leak treatment member is disposed in the underbody space.
- the invention also relates to a method of implementing a motor vehicle comprising a heat engine connected to the exhaust line as described above, the treatment of NOx being provided by two systems, d ' on the one hand the NOx trapping member, and on the other hand the SCR / SCRF assembly, and, depending on the availability of the reducing agent on the vehicle, adjusting the NOx treatment weighting between one or the other systems.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a motor and its exhaust line of a motor vehicle comprising the after-treatment device according to an example 1 of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing the evolution of the ammonia storage capacity in the SCRF member as a function of the temperature
- FIG. 3 represents an operating diagram of the ammonia leak treatment catalyst of the post-treatment device of FIG. 1.
- a device for treating the exhaust gas of a motor 1 according to an example 1.
- This device is integrated in the exhaust line connected to the manifold (not shown) of the exhaust gases of the engine 1. It comprises, in the same envelope 2 (which can also be referred to as the English word "canning") and, depending on the direction of flow of the exhaust gas (upstream then downstream) a catalyst member d 3 or a NOx trap 3 'according to one or the other embodiments of the invention, a mouth 41 of a means 4 for introducing a reducing agent (or a reducing agent precursor). ), a mixer 5, a particulate filter SCRF provided with an impregnating coating SCR 7 and a catalyst for treating ammonia leaks 8. At least one NOx sensor 9 is also provided between the filter 7 and the catalyst ammonia treatment 8.
- the casing 2 is located closer to the exhaust manifold, in particular about 300 mm from its outlet (for example at most 500 mm from its outlet). It is arranged, in the motor vehicle, in the under-hood space accommodating the engine 1.
- the dimensional / geometric data are as follows:
- the casing 2 is of cylindrical section and accommodates the various members 3,7 and 8, also of substantially cylindrical outer shapes and sections of about 175 cm 2 - ( or 150 mm in diameter).
- the ends of the casing 2 are in the form of cone sections, to allow connection to the rest of the exhaust line of much smaller section.
- the length L12 of the particle filter 7 is between 5 and 8 inches, ie between 127 and 203.6 mm, for example 6 inches or 152.7 mm.
- the length L3 of the oxidation catalyst member 3 or NOx trap 3 ' is about 70 mm.
- the length L0 from the upstream face of the oxidation catalyst 3 or the NOx trap 3 'to the downstream face of the member 8 is between 280 and 380 mm. This length corresponds substantially to the length of the cylindrical portion of the casing 2.
- the total length LT of the casing 2, including the two connecting cones is a little higher.
- the first "brick" of this post-treatment device is an oxidation catalyst 3, which oxidizes the reducing species that are carbon monoxide (CO) and the unburned hydrocarbons (HC).
- CO carbon monoxide
- HC unburned hydrocarbons
- a cordierite-type honeycomb support on which is deposited a catalytic active phase ("washcoat") containing precious metals to catalyze the oxidation reactions of CO, HC and NO.
- This phase also comprises oxides such as alumina doped with various stabilizers (lanthanum, cerium, zirconium, titanium, silicon, etc.). On these oxides, precious metals (platinum, palladium) are deposited in order to catalyze the oxidation reactions at low temperatures. Acidic compounds such as zeolites are also added. Their ability to store hydrocarbons at low temperatures and remove them from storage at high temperatures can improve the treatment of HC during cold phases.
- the mixing box 5 fed by an injector 4 itself fed by a gauge-pump module that draws urea in aqueous solution in a tank of about 20 liters (it may contain less because the volume of urea embedded depends on the consumption strategy adopted), ensures a mixture between the drops of urea and the exhaust gas sufficient for the reaction (R3) of thermolysis to be completely and the reaction (R4) d hydrolysis takes place in part.
- the reactions (R3) and (R4) are explained below.
- the SCRF particle filter 7 treats the nitrogen oxides.
- the principle of reducing these NOx by SCR (by the coating of the particle filter 7) can be broken down into two main steps:
- the decomposition of the urea, injected by the injector 4 into the mixing box 5, is in two stages: a first called “thermolysis” which forms a molecule of NH 3 and an isocyanic acid molecule ( HNCO) and a second which forms the second molecule of NH 3 from the hydrolysis of isocyanic acid.
- thermallysis which forms a molecule of NH 3 and an isocyanic acid molecule ( HNCO)
- HNCO isocyanic acid molecule
- the SCR catalyst of the particulate filter 7 is based on copper zeolites, such as chabazite, ⁇ , copper-ferrierite, ZSM5 ... This is the best choice, especially for the catalyst of the filter to particles remains effective even at very high temperature (that it resists the regenerations of the filter in particular).
- the porous support of the filter 7 is rather of SiC silicon carbide.
- Example 1 we chose a catalyst member 8 of ASC type, whose operating principle and structure are illustrated in Figure 3. It has two impregnation layers: a layer C2 which performs the oxidation function of NH 3 in NOx and a layer C1 which performs the NOx reduction function by NH 3 .
- the composition of the ASC 8 member is thus as follows: the upper layer C1 (that which is in contact with the exhaust gas) corresponds to a catalytic coating of the SCR type and the lower layer C2 (that which is in contact with the walls of the substrate contains precious metals (preferably palladium in a very small amount, between 0.5 and 5 g / ft 3, ideally from 1 to 2) deposited on alumina.
- the residual ammonia enters the layer C1 and stores itself in this layer in part. The remainder of the ammonia passes through this layer C1 and enters the layer C2 whose precious metals (Pd) favor the oxidation of the ammonia NH 3 to NOx.
- the pollution control systems are generally effectively controlled by on-board diagnostic tools known as "OBD” for "On Board Diagnosis" throughout the life of the vehicle.
- OBD on-board diagnostic tools
- the system must be able to detect a lower efficiency of NOx treatment; or, on the contrary, by over-injecting urea and specifically creating NH 3 emissions downstream of the SCRF filter 7, the system must be able to detect them.
- the system is diagnosed using the NOx sensor 9 located downstream of the SCRF filter 7.
- the present invention eliminates these downstream ammonia leaks, by adding the organ 8 of the treatment of ammonia, and thus to the cannula, at the end of the vehicle exhaust line.
- the heavier the vehicle, the more these phases at risk (urea injected quantities very important to "respond" to the amounts of NOx produced by the engine, reduced NH 3 storage capacity due to the high thermal conditions, etc. ..) can occur and be responsible for NH 3 emissions to the cannula, even with a line of pollution as effective as mentioned above.
- a CUC type catalyst which has a unique function of oxidizing the NH 3 to NOx, thanks to a catalytic coating containing platinum.
- the Pt load is not necessarily important: 10 to 20g / ft 3 may be sufficient. It is a simple solution but less efficient than the previous one, since it will recreate NOx at the end of the exhaust line. It is then necessary to ensure that the sum of the NOx not treated by the filter SCRF 7 and residual emissions of NH 3 converting to NOx by the action of such a catalyst of the CUC type does not exceed the limit of NOx emission regulation.
- the ammonia leakage treatment catalyst 8 is replaced by a NOx trap 3 '. It consists of a cordierite-type honeycomb support on which is deposited a catalytic phase comprising storage promoting elements such as, but not only, simple or mixed oxides of barium and / or magnesium.
- the NOx trap will store the NOx by carrying out two reactions in series:
- the NOx trap destocks and processes at least some of the NOx by carrying out two other series reactions:
